When y=ab^x find the constants a and b. If I get one i'll be able to find the other. The points they have given me are:

(1, 3.2) (2,6.1) (3,11.4) (4,23) (5,49) (6, 95)

Cheers for any help I can get.

y=ab^x
ln y = ln a + x ln b

plug in 2 different sets of coordinates to get two equations

2 equation + 2 unknowns = answer

3.2=ab
6.1=ab^2
a=3.2/b
a=6.1/b^2
3.2/b=6.1/b^2
3.2b=6.1
b=6.1/3.2
3.2=ab
3.2=a6.1/3.2
a=3.2^2/6.1

Simplify as needed, bitch

Thanks for your help, I got that shit now.
